Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs or Saudis (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)
I’ll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?
Honestly, I think there’s two big barriers to this (same goes for the NSFW side of things, if I may say). No posting to your own profile and from what I can tell, a very inconsistent (or non-existent) system of being able to follow specific users. Reddit is much better equipped for people who are going to be posting pictures of themselves and maybe promoting themselves and gaining a following.
But I think also the other problem that also applies to things like skincare / health and niche entertainment communities is just that there’s not enough users around yet to make more niche subjects active. That I understand and can only hope changes over time.
Thanks, I have checked out that thread before. Seems to be a good place to check for any new specific communities that pop up or that I haven’t thought of. I think I need to add that community to my favourites and visit it more often because it seems like the best central place for now. Although of course I’m not watching everything as it comes out, so can’t promise I’ll be commenting on everything.
